About this listen

From debut author Maiga Doocy comes the charming tale of an impulsive sorcerer and his curmudgeonly rival as they venture deep into a magical forest in search of a counterspell that can break the curse between them—only to discover that magic might not be the only thing pulling them together.

Leovander Loveage is a master of small magics. He can summon butterflies with a song or turn someone’s hair pink by snapping his fingers. Though such minor charms don’t earn him much respect, anything more elaborate always blows up in his face, and so Leo vowed long ago never to use powerful magic again.

That is, until a mishap with a forbidden spell binds Leo to obey the commands of his longtime rival, Sebastian Grimm. Grimm is Leo’s complete opposite—respected, exceptionally talented, and absolutely insufferable. The only thing they can agree on is that revealing the curse between them would mean the end of their respective magical careers. They need a counterspell, and fast.

Chasing rumors of a powerful sorcerer with a knack for undoing curses, Leo and Grimm enter the Unquiet Wood, a forest infested with murderous monsters and dangerous outlaws alike. To break the curse, they will have to uncover the true depths of Leo’s magic, set aside their long-standing rivalry, and—much to their horror—work together.

Even as an odd spark of attraction flares between them.

Critic reviews

"With a vibrantly imagined world and characters that leap off the page, Sorcery and Small Magics positively sparkles with wit and charm. It's a light-hearted tale of friendship, forgiveness, magic and love. Much like Doocy's opposites-attract heroes, Leo and Grimm, this book sings, leaving you spellbound and wanting more."—Julie Leong, author of The Teller of Small Fortunes
"Sorcery and Small Magics smoulders like spell-paper, set aflame by its singular enchanted setting, a spirited violin soundtrack and plenty of charming chaos. The hesitant care that Leo and Grimm show each other as they work to dispel a genuinely terrifying curse is heart-warming."—Sylve Cathrall, author of A Letter to the Luminous Deep
"As sparkling and delicious as enchanted champagne, Sorcery and Small Magics is full of wit, joy and real heart. I loved it!"—Stephanie Burgis, author of Scales and Sensibility

A treasure

In life, we pass through moments of profound joy, born of a lucky encounter with art you truly love in a special way. I spend my life chasing those encounters. I think all humans do. That crazy love we once felt for a story has us picking up new books for years, looking to feel that magic again. This story was that moment for me fulfilled once more. How beautiful. I'm an aspiring writer, and this read to me as a story I'd dream to tell. I want to write because I can't get enough of how this story made me feel. I'm in total awe of this debut novel. I'm very grateful for everyone who made it come to life, down to the author agent editor publisher narrator and the muses and unsung heroes. This meant something to me, something real in my heart, and I thank you!

Whimsy, sassy, perfect narration

I was smitten with this story and the characters before the end of the first chapter. It is whimsical and sassy, but also quietly romantic and touching. Cozy yet somehow also adventurous. The audio narration is perfection, especially the character representation. The narrator’s delivery of many of Leo’s lines had me laughing out loud. I couldn’t help but think through the whole thing what a fantastic TV series this would be.

I LOVED! The narrator and the characters r peek

THIS WAS EVERYTHING! the performance is supper good like I need more from this man bro! all the characters get their own voice and feel distinct but also are written so well. Everyone has their own life they lived and has their own background effecting their actions and you can see the glimpses of it throughout! I am very excited to see where the second book goes because the boys are not rly together but also at a good place and the world is very vast and interesting so I wouldn’t mind a different POV!!

11/10

This is the best narrator of any book I’ve ever heard. The story was so cozy and magical and so easily brought to life by how the narrator read it. Literally cannot wait for the next one !!

Engaging characters

Some of the best characters I’ve read in a while. There is depth and growth that makes them feel like friends telling a story around a fire. I can’t wait for a sequel!

One of My Favorites of the Year

The character arcs unfolded so well, and the author struck the perfect balance in world building (enough details to be intriguing, but not so much exposition that it feels like you’re reading RPG game guides). Cannot wait for more stories from this author. PS - Terrific narrator.
